I read almost all of the posts--you received some excellent advice. I had
a similar problem that was traced to a rim leak. I suggest that you have a
rim leak fix job. I had the problem over 10 years ago--at that time they
still used intertubes in some tires. I placed an intertube in the tire and
it solved the problem. You could buy a new rim or have the old rim fixed
so it does not leak. In the mean time--use some special tire sealer fluid
that should cause the leaking problem to slow down so that it leaks much
more slowly. You should check it every time you get gas.

Re: Tire leaks without actaully leaking - help.
rim leak? bad valve stem? bad valve stem core? practical joker in the
neighborhood?
You could have it remounted (perhaps w/ some bead sealer if the rim and/or
bead are a little rough) and replace the valve stem. You might try replacing
the valve core first though, they're cheap and easy w/ a core removal tool
(also cheap).

Sounds to me like a rim leak. Depending on where the wheel is oriented when you
stop, If you happen to park with the leaky part down, the slight deformation of
the sidewall at the bottom is enough to make it seal. Otherwise, it will leak.

Sounds to me like a rim leak. Depending on where the wheel is oriented when you
stop, If you happen to park with the leaky part down, the slight deformation of
the sidewall at the bottom is enough to make it seal. Otherwise, it will leak.

Re: Tire leaks without actaully leaking - help.
Occasionally this happens with a puncture. It will leak only when a certain
portion of the tire is on the ground.
